Adventures of Plan B in DC: Homegrown

Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Homegrown

If possible, my opinion of Katie Couric as a journalist (and I am using the term loosely) sank lower this morning. She began the piece with an opening along the lines of "In light of the recent discovery that the bombings in London were the result of homegrown terrorists, many Americans are asking 'could this happen here in the U.S.?'". Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it happen in April of 1995 when Timothy McVeigh et al bombed the Federal building in Oklahoma City? Just checking.
